The Effect of Using Video Simulation and Hands-on Simulation Training on Preclinical Medical Students' Confidence in Dermatological Suturing Skills.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aim and Objectives: This study aimed to compare between the use of hands-on simulation training sessions versus video training on students' confidence in suturing skills. The study measured the effect of using hands-on simulation training versus video-recorded simulation training on medical students' suturing skills. Methods: This study was conducted at College of Medicine, Jouf University. All third-year medical students (n=98) were invited to participate in the study. However, only 81 (male=57, female=24) of them participated in this study. A randomized pretest-posttest control group study design was used to assess self-ratings of confidence in skills. All participants attended a lecture and were then divided into two groups: the experimental group (n=34) had simulation activities, while the control group (n=47) watched video-recorded training. A paired Results: Statistically significant differences (improvements) of students' confidence in skills were detected in both groups. The mean difference between pre- and post-test scores for the experimental group was 1.47 (p<0.001), and it was 0.92 (p<0.001) for the control group. Conclusion: Both hands-on simulation training sessions and video training sessions are beneficial for teaching suturing skills for students. Furthermore, a long-term follow-up multicenter study that evaluates the impact of confidence in skin suturing skills on competence development is warranted among different university students in Saudi Arabia.
